tt – think you’ll find that it’s ‘recommend’, not ‘recomend’.

(If Grandad’s told you that already I’m sorry (and disgusted), but I practically raced down the page ignoring all other posts in my eagerness to tell you.)

Tell me quango, quango, quango. Fuckwits sit in offices. Must justify salary. Paid by taxpayer. I just found out that we spend 40million pa on the road safety authority.
Now you tell me that the Corpo (is it still the Corpo?) is also spending money on road strangulation.
Thanks be to god I never visit that kip. Not the same since I left it in the 70′s. Wasn’t a kip then.

I’d just like to compliment Kae Varens on the first comment on this particular blog post, Groandad.

Its quite possibly the best idea I’ve ever seen which includes game theory, technology and contains a heavy strand of meritocracy.

The only thing I would add is that it might undercut democracy in that the danger would be that a new ‘elite’ would emerge and humans who form this opinion of themselves quite often turn nasty.

I would add that the top ten in that situation should stand for election against traditional-route candidates at all times. That means the voter would retain power in a democracy.

Cracking idea… great piece of lateral thinking if Kae doesn’t mind my saying…

I was going down a nice empty street on Monday night and the guy in the MPV behind me kept ringing his bell.

I told you yesterday. Pay attention willya? It’s Aussie for Yank. Septic tank. Seppo for short. I first heard the expression used in a brilliant 1997 movie called ‘Welcome to Woop Woop’ which I warmly recomend if you haven’t seen it.Rod Taylor still going strong. He just played Churchill in ‘Inglorious Basterds.’

Ian – I don’t drive in the city any more. Life is too short. Anyway, I wouldn’t know my way around now with their BusGates and shite like that.

When did you last manage to get up to 30 km/h in the city centre? The place is a nightmare. They are determined to kill off the last remaining business with lunatic traffic schemes and car parking at over €3 per hour.

Unless you are a seppo it’s kilometre not kilometer. Yes, now I AM being a pedantic tosser.
